Alignment issue??
Hey guys, I have a question about a possible alignment issue. My M pulls to right or left when I'm on a road surface that has been grooved by heavy trucks(streets in Memphis...awful!!), I get slight drift on smooth streets. I have stock 19's on my '08 M35S with even wear on the tires. I also recently had my rotors turned, and pads are still good. Could the size of the wheels cause the pulling? 1st time owner of such a low profile wheel and tire. Thanks in advance of replies.

Re: Alignment issue??
I wouldn't think your wheels have anything to do with it... If you are lowered without the property alignment kit (camber control arms etc.) Then it is possible that may be the added effect of pull, but if not I believe it would simply be the roads are pretty bad and that happens...

Re: Alignment issue??
You have poor alignment.
Some tires like to track to ruts in the road, the softer the compound the more the care will react to road crown. But I would start with the alignment then see what you get.
Some tires are more susceptible to road imperfections.
I have the same issue and I lowered the car and had it aligned and the car is almost normal. Having said that; I found that my X is doesn't track as well with the lowered suspension. Going back to stock height next spring.
What type of tires do you have on the car
